What is child development? Why study child development? Child development involves the scientific study of changes in the child’s biological‚ social‚ cognitive and emotional behaviour across the span of childhood. Every child’s development is unique and complex. Although children develop through a generally predictable sequence of steps and milestones‚ they may not proceed through these steps in the same way or at the same time. Psychologists and development researchers have proposed a number of

mechanisms involved in motor development involve some genetic components that determine the physical size of body parts at a given age‚ as well as aspects of muscle and bone strength. The main areas of the brain involved in motor skills are the frontal cortex‚ parietal cortex and basal ganglia. The dorsolateral frontal cortex is responsible for strategic processing. The parietal cortex is important in controlling perceptual-motor integration and the basal ganglia and supplementary motor cortex are responsible

CYP Core 3.3: Understanding child and young person development. Unit reference L/601/1693 1.1: Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 years. Physical development: 0-3 years. This is a period of fast physical development. New born babies have little control over their bodies. The sucking and grasping reflexes are there in order to survive. In the first year of life they gradually get more control over their bodies. By 12 months most babies have developed a

B.Children’s growth reflects a continuing pattern of speeding up‚ slowing down‚ speeding up‚ slowing down again‚ and so on. C.Development proceeds in a top-down fashion‚ from the head to the feet. D.Development proceeds in an in-out fashion‚ beginning with the head and torso

Unit 01- Child and Young Person Development (1.1) 1. Explain the difference between sequence of development and rate of development and why the difference is important. (1.1) It is important to know the difference between the sequence and the rate of development as it gives us direction when it comes to monitoring child/young person’s needs during stages of their school years. We can then plan effectively to make sure the child receives the help and support they need in areas they could find difficult

In addition to determining children’s eventual height‚ hair color‚ and other physical characteristics‚ there is another cognitive plan which determines the unique emotional and intellectual qualities of each child. These qualities develop through what Montessori referred to as "the sensitive periods."Each sensitive period is a specific kind of compulsion‚ motivating young children to seek objects and relationships in their environment with which to fulfill their
